Pergolas & Trellises

Your outdoor space should be more than that empty space you dump old furniture and toys. It should be the one place in your home where you can unwind and enjoy nature with your loved ones. And what better way to enjoy your outdoor space than with a pergola or trellis? Each of these outdoor structures redefines your outdoor space in more ways than one.

 

But before we look at how pergola installation from our Central Florida landscaping design company can redefine your outdoor space, let’s define pergolas and trellises.

Pergolas and Trellises, What Are They?

A pergola is a type of open, outdoor structure made up of vertical posts that support an open lattice or cross-beams framework. This structure can be made of different materials, including vinyl, wood, and metal. The origin of pergolas dates several centuries ago, and over the years, they have gained significant popularity.
A trellis is a simple framework of horizontal cross pieces and flat vertical supports, unlike pergolas.

 

You can use a trellis to train plants like small trees, shrubs, or vines to grow up while attaching to an object. You can also use it as an excellent way to spice up your outdoor space, especially if you have a garden.

 

Now that you know what pergolas and trellises are, let’s look at several benefits of adding one to your yard.

Benefits of Adding a Backyard Trellis or Pergola

A Beautiful Garden Feature

In Florida’s pleasant climate, homeowners consider outdoor spaces a year-round environment. But no one wants to spend all that time outdoors in a bland environment. A backyard trellis or pergola can be the perfect show-stopping addition to your yard. With a pergola or trellis in your yard, you get to keep the beauty of your garden with a dash of modernity.

It’s an Extension of Your Home

Pergolas and trellises are the perfect way to blend your modern home interior with the outdoor space. You can continue the natural flow of your home’s interior by adding a trellis or pergola adjacent to your house’s exterior. With the right pergola design, you no longer have to limit your style to your home’s interior. You can bring it outside and have a beautiful extension to your home.

Transforms Your Backyard

Trellises and pergolas can transform a seemingly boring outdoor space into an undeniable beauty. The best part about a trellis installation is that you get to add an extra touch by growing vines, roses, honeysuckle, or wisteria.


For pergolas, you can add plants or hang pieces of colored lines of fabric across the beams to give it an extra touch. Whatever styling and design you choose with a trellis or pergola, you can be certain that it will transform your backyard.

Sometimes deciding if a particular pergola or trellis design is perfect for your yard can be tough. By consulting with an expert beforehand, you can choose the right backyard pergola or trellis you and your loved ones can enjoy.
